RAHUL KP'S SECRET TO BEING A FOOTBALLER, WINNING ISL WITH KERALA BLASTERS & PLAYING IN THE WORLD CUP

Welcome back to the 14th episode of "this is not a podcast." In this episode, we chat with Rahul KP, a professional footballer playing for Kerala Blasters in the ISL and representing the Indian national team. In a very candid conversation with him, we discuss the sacrifices to becoming a pro footballer, the discipline needed when pursuing a career in sports, the future of football in India, accessibility to opportunities, and infrastructure in football as opposed to cricket. During his time off, he speaks about his need to disconnect from the world, i.e., cut off from social media and live "in the now". Being a motor-head, Rahul talks about his obsession with supercars and his dream car collection! 0:00 - Intro 01:13 - All the attention on Rahul 02:02 - Rahul's diet and fitness 04:10 - Rahul's first impression of Sharan 05:33 - Aryan and Red Bull 07:36 - Pre-season preparations 10:37 - Semen retention before a big game 19:04 - Yeiler is back with another masturbation story 19:22 - The effects of dopamine 20:18 - Rahul's take on posting on social media 20:50 - "In the now" 25:20 - Rahul's plan for when he's super-rich 25:20 - The importance of interacting face-to-face with a person 27:45 - How Rahul disconnects himself 29:23 - Living in the now and grinding for success 30:30 - Rahul's love for cars 31:04 - Having a passion for something 32:49 - What's Rahul's dream car? 35:01 - Rahul's social media account for tracking fast cars 36:50 - People who come to French Toast in fancy cars 37:43 - Discussing whether Ronaldo is faster than a Bugatti 38:01 - What it means for footballers who leave the European League 42:55 - Ronaldo or Messi? 44:59 - Talent vs working hard 48:07 - Sharan's story about how he "defeated" Rahul in football 49:45 - Shyamolie's story about how she met Sharan through football 50:03 - Back to talent vs working hard discussion 51:58 - Opportunities for an Indian footballer 53:17 - What it will take to bring Indian football to an international level 54:12 - Playing for Kerala Blasters and the I-League 56:03 - What it feels like to play for Kerala Blasters 59:14 - Why the 2010 World Cup was special 01:00:05 - What Rahul thinks about Cricket 01:00:50 - Getting football in India to be the same level as Cricket 01:03:49 - Why the atmosphere of football was different before 01:06:08 - Where Rahul came from 01:08:05 - What it was like to start training for football at a very young age 01:11:40 - Being present and living in the now 01:13:36 - Easing back into the conversation 01:14:02 - Giving up on worldly pleasures 01:16:05 - What is the difference between us and certain tribes around the world? 01:21:18 - Missing our childhoods because it was simpler 01:23:25 - What Sharan was as a kid 01:24:05 - The difficulty of making choices as an adult 01:24:27 - Rahul's experience with a tribe in Nilambur 01:27:35 - Deciding on what kind of a life you want to lead 01:29:37 - Making a choice on what's important for you 01:31:40 - What it felt like to represent India in the World Cup 01:34:02 - What it felt like to play against other countries 01:35:32 - "Brazil is Football" 01:35:42 - Shyamolie, Sharan, and Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals 01:39:44 - Difficulties Rahul faced as a national player 01:42:05 - Rahul on potentially winning the ISL 01:45:03 - thisisnotapodcast suggests a post-goal celebration 01:47:06 - Rahul's last words for the fans 01:47:53 - Outro #rahulkp #keralablasters #indianfootball New episode out every week.
